Gravitor
Intro
We made this game in 2024 because we wanted to give Suika-likes a new spin. I have a talented brother who does amazing pixel art so a pixel look felt like a right choice. Adding gravity to Suika felt natural, and that decision also brought the space theme with it. While we were at it adding a cannon to clear obstacles improved the pacing.
We missed the chance to publish the game on itch.io at the time. Better late than never so here we are. If anyone enjoys the gameplay loop we can (hopefully) fix the bugs, create a proper tutorial for the game and potentially even do a full release with maybe more skins(?) and a leaderboard. Feel free to share suggestions.
Thank you.
Gameplay
- A and D to navigate, using Space or clicking red buttons on screen drops planets. Clicking sides of the playable area also works for movement.
- Right side of playable area shows next planet on line.
- Merging planets fills up the cannons charge.
- When player gets the first charge a button will be unlocked. Clicking the button lets you select a small planet (Grey, Red or Purple).1 charge can only destroy a grey meteorite and 3 can destroy a purple. Once there's 3 charges it cannot stack any further.
- Once you reach Star's they will have gravity. They will have better pull bigger they get.
- Merging two galaxies will reset the field.
- Player can earn coins after each game and unlock skins via shop button situated in top right corner next to restart.

It's not bad, but it falls a tad too slowly; also, when the balls stack up, they look a bit like they're floating in mid-air.
Thanks a lot for trying the game out! The plantes looking like they are floating is caused by the pixel graphics. The hitboxes of the planets are not aligned perfectly with the pixel graphics, because if we do that, they merge into one another.
Hope it explains! ^-^
I see, thanks. There is actually one more thing I wanted to mention: it would be nice to have the ability to move left and right with the mouse. Also, regarding the red line—the one that ends the game if you cross it—I have a question: when we are holding a planet before launching it, the planet overlaps with that red line; it really ought to appear behind it. I hope I explained that clearly; my English isn't great, and since I used Google Translate, I might not have made myself understood.
I see, thanks for your feedback! We will think about what you mentioned.
And no worries on your English :) We get what you are saying.
Thanks! 😊
Great stuff, very meditative :D Amazing art and great music. Love the gravity gimmick once it comes into play, though that takes a bit before you get there (might benefit from accelerating that first phase before you get a star, frontloading more bigger planets at first maybe?). Mouse controls are a bity wonky (also weren't explained well in the text blurb, as far as I can tell you hold mouse on the sides of the container to move, and click either the red arrows or anywhere within the horizontal stripe of the container to drop) more precise mouse control would be great, left/right controls feel a bit slow.
Updated the first phase, now first 20 meteors (excluding the first grey) are only red and purple. Fixed the UI elements blocking the clicking such as test build title and cannon UI.
More feedback would be appreciated and hope you enjoy!
Oh no i lost my progress! Even when i click "restore game," it puts me to 0 coins/highscore. I wish there was a download option of the game. I ADORE this pixel art, and it's a fun game!! I will keep playing, maybe I'll have to bookmark the web page just in case to save progress. Incredible game
Sorry to hear that. I believe it's caused by the update. Added downloadable file for PC. Thank you for trying out our game!
Amazing! So fast!!! I love this so much, thank you!!!!!!
nice game, i've never played any pixel art suika game.
btw, i'd be nice if you implement an accelerated slider controls, goin from side to side was feeling slow to me
Thanks for the feedback, will update soon!
I only got to the blue dwarf ;-;
The game art is awesome, and the idea of showing the next planet is huge, the sfx of the canon is reeeeealy satisfying, and the bg music is realy chill
Realy good game :DD
Thank you for the kind words. Great second game :D. Can't wait to see you reaching to next stars \o/
